PR 69 Using Lean Kaizen Improvement Across The Enterprise
Developing a Strategic Advantage As A Learning Organization
Comfort and contentment with the Status Quo is a slow but sure path to obscurity, irrelevance and obsolescence. As the 2nd law of Thermo Dynamics teaches us the moment we stop inserting new energy into a system balanced with a healthy dose of discontentment and curiosity with our current state we begin the long slow slide of Entropy.
Organizations which fight this slow fade to black encourage and develop a culture focused on continual improvement or in lean words establish a learning / kaizen mindset. This core Lean principle is at the heart of recent developments in the IT industry related to Agile and now DevOps principles.
Join George, Damon and I as we discuss the concept of a Kaizen or Learning Organization and how developing a Kazien mindset is a critical element for every organization wishing to remain relevant.

The Other Side of Meby Sidney Sheldon, Mike O'Malley
View All Available Formats & Editions
Sidney Sheldon has lived a life filled with fortitude and self-doubt, reversal and triumph--from scathing Broadway reviews to three shows at once and a Tony Award®, from luckless knocks on movie studio doors to screenwriting successes for Easter Parade and Annie Get Your Gun--from anxiously watching his first novel hit bookstores to being hailed as the world's most translated author by The Guinness Book of Records.
In THE OTHER SIDE OF ME, Sheldon pulls no punches. He talks candidly about growing up in Depression-era Chicago, his family's poverty, and the onset of mood swings, later diagnosed as manic depression, that would haunt him throughout his life. He recalls how he boldly maneuvered his way into show business as a self-proclaimed songwriter...how, as a first-time nominee, he accepted the Oscar® for Best Original Screenplay for The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer without having prepared a speech...how he directed Cary Grant and comforted Judy Garland in Hollywoodhow he worked with TV icons Barbara Eden, Patty Duke, and Larry Hagman. And, in frank and moving chapters, Sheldon reveals, for the first time, his private self: his profound personal losses and his search for happiness.
Every reader knows that a Sidney Sheldon novel is a guaranteed page-turner. His real-life story is just as compelling. Packed with choice anecdotes about everyone from Frank Sinatra to Irving Berlin to Marilyn Monroe, as well as hilarious asides from pal Groucho Marx, THE OTHER SIDE OF ME is filled with highs and lows, twists and turns, and is every bit as riveting as any blockbuster Sheldon has ever written.
Finally, the world's master storyteller shares his greatest tale---his own!

The Other Side of Me
By Sidney Sheldon
WARNER BOOKSCopyright © 2005 Sidney Sheldon Family Limited Partnership
All right reserved.
Chapter OneAt the age of seventeen, working as a delivery boy at Afremow's drugstore in Chicago was the perfect job, because it made it possible for me to steal enough sleeping pills to commit suicide. I was not certain exactly how many pills I would need, so I arbitrarily decided on twenty, and I was careful to pocket only a few at a time so as not to arouse the suspicion of our pharmacist. I had read that whiskey and sleeping pills were a deadly combination, and I intended to mix them, to make sure I would die.
It was Saturday-the Saturday I had been waiting for. My parents would be away for the weekend and my brother, Richard, was staying at a friend's. Our apartment would be deserted, so there would be no one there to interfere with my plan.
At six o'clock, the pharmacist called out, "Closing time."
He had no idea how right he was. It was time to close out all the things that were wrong with my life. I knew it wasn't just me. It was the whole country.
The year was 1934, and America was going through a devastating crisis. The stock market had crashed five years before and thousands of banks had failed. Businesses were folding everywhere. More than thirteen million people had lost their jobs and were desperate. Wages had plunged to as low as a nickel anhour. A million vagabonds, including two hundred thousand children, were roaming the country. We were in the grip of a disastrous depression. Former millionaires were committing suicide, and executives were selling apples in the streets.
The most popular song was "Gloomy Sunday." I had memorized some of the lyrics:
Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
The world was bleak, and it fit my mood perfectly. I had reached the depths of despair. I could see no rhyme or reason for my existence. I felt dislocated and lost. I was miserable and desperately longing for something that I couldn't define or name.
We lived near Lake Michigan, only a few blocks from the shore, and one night I walked down there to try to calm myself. It was a windy night, and the sky was filled with clouds.
I looked up and said, "If there is a God, show yourself to me."
And as I stood there staring at the sky, the clouds merged together, forming a huge face. There was a sudden flash of lightning that gave the face blazing eyes. I ran all the way home in a panic.
I lived with my family in a small, third-floor apartment in Rogers Park. The great showman Mike Todd said that he was often broke but he never felt poor. I, however, felt poor all the time because we were living in the demeaning kind of grinding poverty where, in a freezing winter, you had to keep the radiator off to save money and you learned to turn the lights out when not in use. You squeezed the last drops out of the ketchup bottle and the last dab of toothpaste out of the tube. But I was about to escape all that.
When I arrived at our dreary apartment, it was deserted. My parents had already left for the weekend and my brother had gone. There was no one to stop me from what I intended to do.
I walked into the little bedroom that Richard and I shared and I carefully removed the bag of sleeping pills I had hidden under the dresser. Next, I went into the kitchen, took a bottle of bourbon from the shelf where my father kept it, and carried it back to the bedroom. I looked at the pills and the bourbon and I wondered how long it would take for them to work. I poured some whiskey into a glass and raised it to my lips. I would not let myself think about what I was doing. I took a swallow of the whiskey, and the acrid taste of it made me choke. I picked up a handful of sleeping pills and started to raise them to my mouth, when a voice said, "What are you doing?"
I spun around, spilling some of the whiskey and dropping some of the pills.
My father was standing in the bedroom doorway. He moved closer. "I didn't know you drank."
I looked at him, stunned. "I-I thought you were gone."
"I forgot something. I'll ask you again: What are you doing?" He took the glass of whiskey from my hand.
My mind was racing. "Nothing-nothing."
He was frowning. "This isn't like you, Sidney. What's wrong?" He saw the pile of sleeping pills. "My God! What's going on here? What are these?"
No plausible lie came to my mind. I said defiantly, "They're sleeping pills."
"I'm going to-to commit suicide."
There was a silence. Then my father said, "I had no idea you were so unhappy."
"You can't stop me, because if you stop me now I'll do it tomorrow."
He stood there, studying me. "It's your life. You can do anything you want with it." He hesitated. "If you're not in too big a hurry, why don't we go for a little walk?"
I knew exactly what he was thinking. My father was a salesman. He was going to try to talk me out of my plan, but he didn't have a chance. I knew what I was going to do. I said, "All right."
"Put on a coat. You don't want to catch cold."
The irony of that made me smile.
Five minutes later, my father and I were headed down windswept streets that were empty of pedestrians because of the freezing temperature.
After a long silence, my father said, "Tell me about it, son. Why do you want to commit suicide?"
Where could I begin? How could I explain to him how lonely and trapped I felt? I desperately wanted a better life-but there was no better life for me. I wanted a wonderful future and there was no wonderful future. I had glowing daydreams, but at the end of the day, I was a delivery boy working in a drugstore.
My fantasy was to go to college, but there was no money for that. My dream had been to become a writer. I had written dozens of short stories and sent them to Story magazine, Collier's, and The Saturday Evening Post, and I had gotten back printed rejections. I had finally decided I couldn't spend the rest of my life in this suffocating misery.
My father was talking to me. "... and there are so many beautiful places in the world you haven't seen ..."
I tuned him out. If he leaves tonight, I can go on with my plan.
"... you'd love Rome ..."
If he tries to stop me now, I'll do it when he leaves. I was busy with my thoughts, barely listening to what he was saying.
"Sidney, you told me that you wanted to be a writer more than anything in the world."
He suddenly had my attention. "That was yesterday."
"What about tomorrow?"
I looked at him, puzzled. "What?"
"You don't know what can happen tomorrow. Life is like a novel, isn't it? It's filled with suspense. You have no idea what's going to happen until you turn the page."
"I know what's going to happen. Nothing."
"You don't really know that, do you? Every day is a different page, Sidney, and they can be full of surprises. You'll never know what's next until you turn the page."
I thought about that. He did have a point. Every tomorrow was like the next page of a novel.
We turned the corner and walked down a deserted street. "If you really want to commit suicide, Sidney, I understand. But I'd hate to see you close the book too soon and miss all the excitement that could happen to you on the next page-the page you're going to write."
Don't close the book too soon . . . Was I closing it too soon? Something wonderful could happen tomorrow.
Either my father was a superb salesman or I wasn't fully committed to ending my life, because by the end of the next block, I had decided to postpone my plan.
But I intended to keep my options open.

Talk about a "page turner"!! I couldn't stop reading this book! Sidney Sheldon led a remarkable life and did it all while struggling with his manic-depressive (bipolar) illness! The first paragraph of the first chapter will hook you! He knew how to write. It's not only an interesting and fun book but an inspiring book! Shows what you can accomplish if you hang in there, keep working and never give up. Sidney Sheldon never stopped working. Amazing!
Amazing. Really well written. I wes captivatedby thefirest words. Keep going
All people are trapped inside themselves. You have four sides: Created, Hidden, Dark, and Light. The only side anyone ever sees is the Created Side, your armor, your shell. But it is not you.
 Your Hidden Side is a mixture of your Light Side and Dark Side. It is the part of you that is afraid of the past, afraid of the future, afraid of the present. The part of you that yearns to be someone else, something else, something that your are not. It tries to hide behind the Created Side. It is all the fear of your body.
 Your Dark Side is the part of you that yearns to be free, but should be kept hidden even more so than the Hidden Side. It is the part of you that wishes someone de<_>ad, or tells you to do something bad. It is your inner demon. Waiting to be awoken, it can grow bigger than all the other sides and drive you to insanity.
 The Light Side is the thing you want to be, the way you want to be seen, the you that is kind. It does not yearn to be seen like the Dark Side, instead, it waits for its cue. But, sometimes, that never happens.
 Alina walked around the alley. The fullmoon was up, but nobody was here. She had been sent a mysterious letter from Anon Emus, which had told her to meet in this alleywa on the fullmoon and release her full potential. She did not know who Anon was.
 Suddenly, the moon became blood red and with a flash, the night became dark. Alina shook herself and lifted her head, looking around. There were three others of herself. "Ali, Alix, Alice, and Alina." Said the one with the black hair that had a red streak. "I am Alix." Said the same one eerily, a dark smile creeping across her face.
 "I.... I'm... Ali." Whimpered the one with very long, pale blonde hair.
 "Oh, I'm Alice. I'm an artist." Said the one with wavy brown hair.
 "I'm Alina. It's nice to meet you all... um. How did you know everyone's name before we even met you?" She said to Alix.
 "Well, we're all the same person."
A truly amazing life story by my absolute favorite author. He overcame much in his life to accomplish even more! A "must read" if you're a Sidney Sheldon fan. Each & every one of his books are real page turners and his story telling talents are superlative! I have all of his books and often re-read them as they are that good. So happy that Tilley Bagshawe has taken over his writing.
Simple, forthright and not beating around the bush- that's Sydney Sheldon's stlye! As soon as you begin reading the first paragraph, an interesting story is assured. Even if you are not an avid reader, you will be glued! It's as effortless as watching a movie! It's intriguing to know the writer's journey and experiences from being down in the pits to sumptuous glory. The book explores the elements with which a writer is made.
Sidney Sheldon! I was captured by his books shortly after he began writing them and have read / re-read all of them many times-- my abosolute favorite --'If Tomorrow Comes'. Some of his real life experiences show up in his story lines -- incredibly great! He puts you into his work -- you are immersed and living what you read. His real life story is so enjoyable and once again the MASTER OF THE GAME has given us a page turner!
Many would say that bestselling novelist Sidney Sheldon has led a charmed life. As a boy of 17 he would have laughed at that description, perhaps cried as he attempted suicide. He thought everything was hopeless. He lived in Chicago during the Depression - there was little money for anything, let alone college. However, 'The Other Side of Me' is the true story of how he beat the odds, lived with manic depression, suffered the devastating loss of a child, and became a heralded author with over 300 million copies of his books in print. He wouldn't have dreamed this when he worked as a theater usher. However, it wasn't long after that he became a songwriter, soon sharing notes with Irving Berlin. A man Sheldon describes as not being able to carry a tune or read music. All he had, Sheldon said was genius. Later, Sheldon would direct most of the Hollywood greats in films and create a host of popular television programs. However, Sheldon is more than candid in his memoir as we learn that while there were bright lights and star studded parties, he also battled personal demons. For many, his true story will be more enthralling than his fiction. Stage and television actor Mike O'Malley offers a distinctive reading as he traces Sheldon's life from depressed teenager to a man who has had 'an incredible career with great successes and king-sized failures.' - Gail Cooke
After numerous novels of excellence, Sidney Sheldon has done the public a tremendous favor by telling his own life story. The story captures his readers with the first page starting off as a Chicago youth facing traumatic odds, mental anguish and parental difficulties. Later, we journey to NewYorkCity where he gains cheap employment as an usher in one of the city's theatre. The story moves to California where he faces tremendous career and family ups and downs. He is the Master and his life's novel readilly explains his reasons as such. Absolutely an enjoyable autobiography that is thrilling told by this 88 year old author. A great uplifting story of outstanding worth.
Sidney Sheldon captured me years ago when I read The Naked Face and The Other Side of Midnight. Since then, I have read all of his novels, wondering how he could magnify and tell his stories with such authenticity. My favorite novel is Rage of Angels. Although, I also loved the novel Master of the Game. Now that I have read his memoir, I fully realize his talents. His personal story was wonderful, starting out as a youth in Chicago and traveling to New York and then to LA. His highs and his lows are detailed in this chronicle magnificently. I love this book and gained enormous insight regarding his life and his career as a writer, etc. He is definitely an inspiration to other writers by not giving up so I will keep turning life's pages as he states. This is THE REAL DEAL for sure. Mr. Sheldon is indeed the MASTER on the literary circuit and should be commended for his greatness and tremendous talent.
There's only one man who writes for readers and make them feel as though their living the book. His books make me smile, laugh out loud and cry with sorrow. Sidney Sheldon has a extraodinary way of taking the reader exactly where he wants his books to take them - to a Journey. Fantastic! I love him

Ramblings of this guy you know!
Tech Stuff and random observations on life as I see it….
Raspberry Pi – A good idea, but does it come too late?
January 18, 2012Posted by on
Back in May! The BBC reported on it and their technology programme Click! Followed up on it in June. It was suggested that the RaspberryPi, a £15 computer on a stick could provide the same home computing revolution that was kick started off in the eighties with the BBC Micro, Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64 and other similar machines. I posted an article a short while later when the Alpha production schedule was announced.
Now if we fast forward to more recently we are once again hearing about it again: In December 2011 there was an announcement that the first batch of devices were nearly ready for release. Now in January 2012 several early test devices have been auctioned on EBay for £3,000 so there is interest in them.
However, I cannot help but think that this very good idea may have come along too late. I can see the use of them in Schools during the day but as I see it the main problem that I see is the reliance on external devices outside the school environment. As I write this, I am sitting with my iPad in front of the TV which is on. In other words I can both watch TV and do work at the same time. With the advent of ideas like CodeAcademy, a safe programming environment is presented to a student on the device in front of them and there is no need to plug into anything. I personally think that this is a better way forward even if the RapBerryPi is a very portable device.

Osteoporosis Health Center
Symptoms & Types
Osteoporosis often starts silently and may not be found until a bone fractures. But sometimes, symptoms appear. Learn about the types and symptoms of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis can be a silent disease, but many patients suffer symptoms such as pain and height loss. Read a brief description of osteoporosis symptoms.
Warning Signs
Many people have thinned bones and don't know it. Osteopenia is mildly thin bones that are heading towards osteoporosis. Learn more about how osteopenia is detected and treated.
Did you know there are different types of osteoporosis? Men and women of all ethnic groups can develop osteoporosis. So can children and teenagers.
Osteoporosis rarely affects children. But when it does, it's usually due to a medical condition or medication. It's a significant problem because it occurs during the child's prime bone-building years. Those rare cases are called juvenile osteoporosis. Read about it in this brief article.
While a woman's risk of developing osteoporosis increases with age -- and menopause is a key risk factor for osteoporosis -- premenopausal osteoporosis or bone loss that happens before menopause is not uncommon and can result in painful, debilitating fractures.
Osteoporosis develops when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the removal of old bone. Bones become weak and brittle and are more likely to fracture.
Having a fracture, or even seeing yourself as more "fragile" than you once thought you were, can lead to a negative body image, poor self-esteem, and a sense of limitations in activity and mobility.
Osteoporosis and bone disease often result in painful and debilitating fractures. These injuries can have significant long-term consequences, leaving the individuals with chronic pain, loss of height, and impaired ability to do the things they need to do to care for themselves, such as dress, bathe, walk, and take care of their household.
Bone fractures caused by osteoporosis can be very painful, and sometimes the pain and disability lasts for months. Physical activity helps contribute to bone health. Read article on handling chronic pain.

Bone Fractures
Osteoporosis bone fractures are responsible for considerable pain, decreased quality of life, lost workdays, and disability.
When bones are brittle, everyday activities can trigger minor spinal compression fractures. When you bend to lift an object, miss a step, or slip on a carpet, you can put your spinal bones at risk of fracture.
The spine, hips, and wrist are the most common places for a fracture when you have osteoporosis. Here's what to expect if it happens to you.
To prevent future spinal compression fractures, it's also important to treat the osteoporosis that likely caused your fracture and begin building stronger bones.
You may have done your best to prevent a broken bone caused by osteoporosis. Or maybe you didn't even know your bones were at risk. Either way, your fracture can heal, and you can work closely with your doctor to avoid it ever happening again.
Fractures in individuals over the age of 50 can be the first sign of weak bones from osteoporosis or low bone mass.
Many people -- especially those with osteoporosis -- have severe back pain that's caused by spine fractures. A fractured spine can be extremely painful and also result in disfigurement and immobility.
Bone fractures caused by osteoporosis can be very painful, and sometimes the pain and disability lasts for months. Physical activity helps contribute to bone health. Read article on handling chronic pain.
Compression fractures usually heal on their own in about 3 months. While that happens, your doctor may suggest you try some things at home that can make you feel better, such as pain medicines, rest, physical therapy, or a back brace.
It's natural to want to return to your regular activities as soon as possible after surgery. But a lot depends on the type of operation you get.
It's easy to fracture your ankle. Miss a step and fall, or twist your foot on the tennis court, and you're down for the count. If you've got osteoporosis, you're at extra risk for breaking a bone.
Your bones are more likely to break when they're weak and brittle due to osteoporosis. Even a minor fall can lead to a fractured hip or pelvis. But if you get the right treatment quickly, you can get back on your feet and return to your regular activities.
See your doctor right away if you fall and hurt your shoulder. If it's broken, quick treatment can speed your recovery.
When you have osteoporosis and break your wrist or forearm, your treatment options mainly depend on the kind of fracture you have.

Food advertisers' self regulation of their ads could not meet their own standards and failed to keep kids away from consuming junk food.
The researchers at Otago University's Wellington, who conducted the study, have asked the Government to give a thought to this concern and form tougher norms.
They mentioned about a 2007 survey, in which, 82% of parents and grandparents stated that they wanted to see a ban on publicity of unhealthy food to kids.
Most of the kids are overweight, as they tend to be tempted by the commercials and want to eat junk food that they see in advertisements.
The Advertising Standards Authority does not seem to be bothered about the scenario. This is why, they have not tended, to pay attention to the deteriorating health case of kids.
The examination conducted by public health researcher, Louise Thornley and contemporaries are of the opinion that the board fails to recognize the targeting of kids by advertisers, in order to annoy their parents for unhealthy foodstuff, as a convincing argument for complaints, that should be taken care of.

You are in: Dorset > Coast > Point 4: Peveril Point
Peveril Point
Point 4: Peveril Point
Walk along Peveril Point Road, or the rough rocky path along the seafront which involves scrambling over rocks, and you'll come to the southern-most tip of Swanage Bay.
Spare parts
On the way to the Point, you'll see The Wellington Clock Tower - it's another 'spare' from London. When the ships taking the stone to London returned for a another load, they couldn't be completely empty and needed some 'ballast' to keep them afloat – hence bits of leftover stone and ironwork were used which can now be found all over Swanage.
The Wellington Clock Tower
One of the biggest was the Wellington Clock Tower.
Originally built as a memorial to the Duke of Wellington, the clock kept poor time and a statue of the Duke proved too expensive and by 1860, it was obstructing traffic around London Bridge – so George Burt brought it back to Swanage in pieces.
The Coastwatch lookout at Peveril Point
So the Wellington Clock Tower doesn't have a Wellington, and it doesn't have a clock either!
Treacherous waters
It may be beautiful on a clear day, but it's also one of the most dangerous areas for shipping on the Dorset coast. Strong tides and underwater rock ledges have led to the loss of many ships, and lives, over the years. Apart from the Viking fleet, the Wild Wave was lost in 1875 and the Netto in 1900.
There is now a National Coastwatch look-out station at the Point which is manned by volunteers throughout the year.
Smugglers' tales
It was also an ideal look out position for spotting some of Dorset's elusive smugglers. The 'free-traders' used all sorts of cunning means to try and import tea, tobacco and of course, wine and spirits from the continent to avoid the government taxation.
Coastguard houses
The coastguard cottages were built to house the men trying to catch the smugglers who would use the remote caves and inlets along the coast to land their contraband whenever there was a 'smugglers moon' – a dark night.
Many of the innkeepers around the town were happy to buy and sell the cheap contraband liquor - in fact most of the townspeople probably knew what was going on but chose (if they knew what was good for them!), to keep quiet.
The cliffs of Ballard Down on the other side of Swanage Bay were another favoured landing spot for smugglers – the barrels, or 'tubs' would be hauled up the cliffs and taken along the top of the Down on farm wagons and hidden in the cottage of Jenny Gould on the Swanage to Studland road – she was said to be a witch.
Spreading tales of ghostly goings-on and witchcraft were a handy way of making customs men too afraid to go snooping around looking for contraband!
Fishermen often took part in smuggling.
But the smugglers weren't always so lucky.
A stranger and his wife were being rowed from Swanage to Poole in the 1820s and were curious to see a line of corks bobbing the the water. The boatman explained that they were lobster pots – they were actually markers for kegs of brandy hidden underwater (known as 'sewing the line').
The stranger insisted on pulling up the 'lobster pots', only to discover the kegs of brandy – unfortunately for the boatman and the smugglers, the stranger turned out to be the new Chief Customs Officer for Swanage and the smugglers were arrested the next time they went out to collect their loot.Walk back along Peveril Point Road - you can either take the bracing walk up the Downs or get to Durlston along the roadway.

Prosecutors: Bell corruption ran unchecked for years
There are 30 comments on the Daily Breeze story from Sep 22, 2010, titled Prosecutors: Bell corruption ran unchecked for years. In it, Daily Breeze reports that:Eight current and former officials of the city of Bell appeared in shackles before judges Wednesday in a case of alleged municipal corruption that prosecutors say ran so deep it involved personnel who would otherwise have exposed it.

Welcome to the TEA party, citizens of Bell. A little late, but hey, better late than never.

Let's hear it for the tea party

I can't believe that you have Hermosa Beach firefighters making $191,618.60 a year.
Take a look at the salaries posted on the City of Hermosa Beach website.

They need to audit City Of Torrance!!!
#6 Sep 22, 2010
It says the following in "2 Timothy 3:1-5":
1 But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
5 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away.
Sounds like Torrance in persona.
#7 Sep 22, 2010
I am not sure how can they make that much money to stop fire! Not only that look at all of the city departments! No wonder they are writing tickets left and right to pay for their salaries!
#8 Sep 22, 2010
Looks at this!
This is hard to find in the Torrance Website.
#9 Sep 22, 2010

"Bell corruption ran unchecked for years"
And where was the CA Attorney General for all of those years ????
Silence is golden ....
#12 Sep 23, 2010
Especially in L.A. County.
#13 Sep 23, 2010
Dear Citizens,
This is a False Statement!
Your officials, newspapers, and professionals all know!
But for some "odd" (t)reason they do not implement corrective actions!
Even Stan the Man Rehmelmeyer asked me in 1992 "Don we have to do something!"---at that moment Karlheinz Halter's Torrance Puch International attorney grabbed Stan's Shoulder [now he is Judge John P. Shook]---and stated, "See you later, Stan!"
Intimidation of Witnesses and officials and attorneys we have seen.
And for the Dead [1000 "mysterious" homicides]-maybe the FBI and the LAPD will figure that out with their new South Bay Task force!

They need to audit City Of Hawthorne!!!
#15 Sep 23, 2010
Time out .... has anyone ever stopped to ask if the rest of the private sector is paid too little? Maybe these salaries are just!!
#16 Sep 23, 2010
Who knew, it was the people closest to the corruption that started the questioning and didn't stand down, they united and won. It wasn't until then that AG and the rest came in, but the people had to start it. Hats off to the people of BELL
#17 Sep 23, 2010
Well it's not until it hits you in the pocket book before you start asking questions. Good going citizens of BELL
#18 Sep 23, 2010
Well anytime you have to spend several months of trainning for and studing for deserves a good salary. These people put there lives on the line every day they are on the job. Can you honestly say that these life savers and property savers don't have a tough job? and as far as the $190K is that the fire chief's salary?
#19 Sep 23, 2010
Looks like Carson is next, i hear the mayor and city manager and there little helpers are trying to book a flight out of lax this monday but the DA stopped them.
i cant wait for them to clean house and re deposit all the money Karen Avilla spent and so she claims someone hacked into the city computers what a joke. jim dear spends his evening gambling at the Hustler Casino where his brother ex mayor of Gardena is a partner. Funny how these crooks all get caught. City manager Jerry Groomes and wifey take long long vacations and always drive the so called company car, well i got news for all of you the DA is watching and they never left after Pete Fajardo got busted. Wait until DA looks into your home owners beautification program and all the missing money. And the inside back room deals with the developers. Oh well you try to be above the law but like your mother told you keep your hand out of the cookie jar.
#20 Sep 23, 2010
And what about Daimler-Benz [i.e. Mercedes]? Why did they pick Carson? Now they were fined $185 million [re: Judge Leon], for bribing our esteemed officials. And Jim Dear was silent?
#21 Sep 24, 2010
Dear Citizens,
You are forgetting one major Fact!
The County will come to their aide and burn down the mayor's house.
They [Carson Sheriffs] did it back in 1989 to Mitoma's House and the Jaguar got it too!
Mitoma was looking into the Serial Numbers of the recaptured stolen Mopeds from the Warehouse breakins [Two major Warehouse Breakins]---guest they too had orders from higher-up, just like the Torrance Police.

The easiest way to overthrow a settlement or military camp is to go to the geurilla outside the place, then call for a heavy drop. Choose the agency car. Then talk to the geurilla and start. Now, get in the agency car and switch to the guns. Targets will show up and keep firing your guns. When you get to the blockade, switch to the missiles and one shot will blow it up! when you kill enough troops and destroy enough blockades, park next to the flag and capture it! Its easy! if your car gets to damged fall back and order another one. This also works on the Montano houses too.

The AggreGAYtor: July 25
What happened today in gay? Here's your QILTBAG recap of queer news.
By David Estlund,
9:30AM, Fri. Jul. 25, 2014
Colorado joins the party, the Queen gets a show, and "ex-gay" quacks have a new front man, as your AggreGAYtor ponders the P in the V.
The Good
Colorado becomes the latest state to lose its marriage ban.
These two queens just made the Queen (and probably the president of Uganda) witness a gay kiss on live TV.
The Bad
Homophobia causes harm, even self-harm to teens like this (now out and recovered) Texas Lutheran student.
Criminalization of homosexuality leads to increased HIV rates, even in Pacific nations.
The Fugly
Marriage's sole foundation is apparently penis-in-vagina sex.
Arizona's lawyers try the procreation defense. Again.
Quack "ex-gay" therapy has a new spokesperson, and he's gotten his first smackdown.
Some women are airing their misunderstanding of just what feminism is very, very loudly.

Outstanding Alien
Published: September 22, 2002
(Page 2 of 2)
Saville's inability to exist in the corporate world was demonstrated by his ill-fated association with the occult-sounding design group Pentagram. In 1990, Pentagram saved Saville from insolvency, but the marriage proved to be short-lived. ''I was only there for about two years, but I managed to drive the company around the bend with my willfulness,'' he says. ''Looking back, I probably wouldn't do anything differently. There was a philosophical divide between Pentagram and me, but there is a philosophical divide between any graphic design firm and me.''
Another enabler, Aubrey Balkind, of the New York design firm Frankfurt Balkind, later sponsored Saville and his colleague Brett Wickens to move to Los Angeles and work on a doomed multimedia concept. ''Nobody had any idea what we were doing there,'' Saville says. ''Neither did we. We lived in the Sunset Marquis, we had no car, no salary, no visas, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It went on for months, until they finally gave me a visa for outstanding aliens, which I thought was apt. By the time it arrived, though, Frankfurt Balkind and I were parting company.''
In the absence of any real work, Saville had maxed out his corporate card reinventing himself for L.A. ''Nobody got it at the time,'' he says. ''People were appalled by my house in the Hollywood Hills, with dark wood paneling and shag pile carpet, but it's very now. And my personal style mutated into what I guess people now call Gucci. It was '93, and it was obvious to me that's how you dress in L.A.''
Those who know Saville insist that his personal style has not wavered since he was a middle-class teenager in Manchester obsessed with Roxy Music, Kraftwerk, early Armani men's wear and ''Bonnie and Clyde.'' ''For someone so fixated with the way that culture evolves, he has always worn exactly the same clothes and hairstyle,'' says Alice Rawsthorn, director of the Design Museum in London, which will house an exhibition of his work, ''The Peter Saville Show,'' opening on May 23. ''Warren Beatty, especially in 'Shampoo' and 'Bonnie and Clyde,' has influenced Peter's behavior as much as his wardrobe and hair. His other icons are two little-known British pop singers called Paul and Barry Ryan from the 1960's, who wore these neat little mod outfits of black polo necks, narrow lapeled jackets with white jeans and Chelsea boots.''
If Saville's look has remained constant, it's probably because he's allergic to the idea of design for design's sake. ''We have a situation now where you want to clear the cultural space,'' Saville says. ''Designing things is vulgar. That's why I can't be bothered doing it anymore, why I do it by special appointment only. Next year will be the 25th anniversary since I left college, and as far as I'm concerned, I'll just take the gold watch and go. I don't want to be like Phil Spector: 'Hey, I have a great idea, let's get that old guy.'''
If Saville sounds like a diva threatening to leave the stage, not everyone is buying it. ''For as long as I have known him, Peter has said that he's retiring, that he's bored with graphic design work,'' Rawsthorn says. ''Peter is this extraordinary combination of supreme solipsistic self-confidence and acute insecurity, and that's what powers his work.''
While he may not admit to high expectations for his own future, Saville is excited about the retrospective exhibition and book, also slated for May. But the most important task, he says, is sifting through the mountains of printed ephemera he has collected over the years. ''The thing I feel most pressure about is making sense of this, curating the estate of Peter Saville,'' he says rather dramatically, pointing to three enormous piles of paper.
Mixed among the stack of erotic imagery -- ''It's rarely found its way into my work, but it takes up a fair amount of my time,'' says the self-confessed porn junkie -- there are random musings, like ''London losing war on crack'' and ''Design is the new advertising.''
Occasionally, he stops to make sense of a McNugget of pop posturing he's jotted down over the years. ''Sometimes it takes me minutes to work out what I was thinking,'' he says, trying to remember what prompted him to scribble down the words ''Free exchange of values and unregulated exchange of ideas.''
''Oh, I know,'' he says. ''It was an idea for the trading of values on the stock exchange. Can you imagine? Warhol is up, but Louis Vuitton is down?''
There are hundreds of similar skeletons for ideas -- a fictional German nuclear family for use in an art project, thoughts on repositioning CNN, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah -- waiting to be fleshed out. You get the feeling that it will be years before he finally allows himself to retire to the sounds of waves crashing: ''What can I say? I am an art director. It says so in my passport.''
Photos: As famous for his unconventional work habits as his striking imagery, the graphics guru Peter Saville plays against type, but his work jumps off the page. Opposite, clockwise from top: a personal project, done in conjunction with Saville's longtime collaborator, the photographer Nick Knight; a 1999 CD cover for the band Gay Dad; a lenticular Knight image for the cover of Visionaire's ''Movement'' issue; a cover for the group Pulp. (William Selden for The New York Times); Cover art for art's sake: from top, Saville's groundbreaking designs for New Order's ''Power, Corruption and Lies'' and ''Get Ready,'' and Suede's ''Coming Up.''

In Silicon Valley Bank's Innovation Economy Outlook 2014 survey, we asked executives what they see in today's patent system and what they think of different reforms Congress is considering.
In this patent report, we've summarized what we heard from more than 1,000 executives of leading software, healthcare, hardware and cleantech companies across the United States. We also offer our views, as bankers who work closely with many of these companies, on the principles that should guide Congress as it moves forward.
Among our Findings:
Companies across the U.S. innovation economy use patents.
Software companies are less likely to rely on the patent system.
Most of the suits are coming from non-practicing entities.

They told me to bring it back with the same amount of gas which I brought it back with more than was in it but they still charged me 16 and change for more gas.
I felt a little unsafe using this location as it was part deli, part vape shop, and rental. I understand the owners want to maximize profits and what not, but I thought I was at the wrong place at first. All in all, I'd use a different location than that one again just because everything about it felt wrong.
Staff was very helpful & friendly, but the location & store was very congested.
Best experience I've ever had with UHaul or any other company. I would highly recommend this location to anyone needing to move! Thank you to Shannon and Amanda for great service and a pleasant atmosphere! 5 Gold Stars!
Nice people great service terrible neighborhood
Have someone there who knows what good customer service is. This lady came outside when we pulled up with the uhaul and began accusing me of being called by her and uhaul all day and giving her a disconnected phone number. We then go inside where I pull up my contract showing the time I was supposed to be back asd also asked her to call my phone using the number I gave.. GUESS what, it rang. SMH she then admitted to having me mixed up with someone but offered no apology for her actions, just made it as if she was doing me a favor by returning what was left of my deposit. I have used Uhaul for years when ever I need to move anything and have never experienced such a low level of customer service. I even used this same location some years ago when it had different owners and got great service. RIDICULOUS
Back of uhaul was dirty and was told to have it back by 9 30 and nobody opened up till after 10am. Never again
Everything was great very friendly people
Have more of a selection of trucks available
Good job!

Thanks for setting me straight Pips and samsara. My way of dealing with the floppy sides was to trim the excess off one side and then hem the edge.
The other thing I did was sew an Ikea down quilt to the underside. It took a little creativity to make that work but so far so good.
As far as material goes, my preference is the poly, by far. I also made a 60x126" crinkle taffeta, and it's fine, but after a couple years in a heavy duty cotton Brazilian, the polyester just felt more familiar (plus much less static).

Surely, God could have made a better way to sleep.
Surely, God never did.
Ok, my bignormous tablecloth came yesterday. I sewed channels on each end this morning, made some mini-spreaders, and moved my big TurtleDog stand (actually I call it the TurtleDog 2.0 because the rail sits on top of the tripods rather than hanging down) into the house. I gave it a test run and woke up a couple of hours later.
Veeeeeeeeery comfortable... it is actually a close second to my big mayan hammock (but the mayan still wins). I could probably sleep on my stomach in this thing, very flat lay, very good for side sleeping, great lounging/tv watching hammock, the feel of the fabric is ok (but I give the feel of the DN a nod for being my favorite fabric), I love it! I'm actually a fan of having floppy sides available because I fold over the floppy part (which firms it up) and use that to rest my head on... it makes it not important to have a pillow.
I love this hammock! I will keep my ENO DN (my old every night hammock) as a backup and will also probably use it on my boat... but this is now my nightly sleeper for cool season and my mayan will be my summer hammock.
Thanks for posting this and finally giving me the nudge to pick one of these tablecloths up and go for it.

in the brazilian area these hammocks are woven on looms and the suspension is tails of the weave braided together. I had the chance to see them being made on my trip to aruba much to heavy for backpacking but beautiful designs.

You can find more details like funding options ranging from $15 to $10,000 on the Kickstarter page above. InXile promises that Wasteland 2 will be faithful to the original: a top-down, tactical RPG while making decisions that will matter later on in the game (sounds familiar...) to add replay value. According to the page, Wasteland 2 is estimated for a release in October of next year, and founder Brian Fargo has made extra promises for if the campaign exceeds its goal - like a Mac OSX version if it reaches $1.5 million. Considering there's 34 days left, that doesn't seem entirely impossible.

Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $A$ be an abelian group and let's take group zero-homology and zero-cohomology, $H_0(\Gamma,A)$, $H^0(\Gamma,A)$. Is there any relation between $H^0(\Gamma,A)$ and $Hom(H_0(\Gamma,A),\mathbb{Z})$? And changing $\mathbb{Z}$ by other group?
For any module $M$ the natural quotient map $A \to H_0(\Gamma,A)$ induces an isomorphism $Hom(H_0(\Gamma,A),M) \cong H^0(\Gamma,Hom(A,M)).$ (Here we regard $Hom(A,M)$ as a $\Gamma$-module by the contragredient action.)
Thus, in order to get a relationship between $Hom(H_0(\Gamma,A),\mathbb Z)$ and $H^0(\Gamma,\mathbb Z)$, you would need an isomorphism of $\Gamma$-modules $A \cong Hom(A,\mathbb Z)$. For this, $A$ should be a finitely generated free $\mathbb Z$-action, with a self-dual $\Gamma$-action.

Summary: Purpose: We analyzed the occurrence and clinical features of myoclonus in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who were treated with gabapentin (GBP).
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of patients with ESRD who were treated with GBP and hospitalized during an 18-month period and analyzed clinical details such as type of myoclonus, doses of GBP, electroencephalographic (EEG) findings, and relation of symptoms to GBP exposure and dosage.
Results: Three of 71 patients had myoclonus with GBP doses ranging from 9 mg/kg to 20 mg/kg and within 4 months of treatment onset. Myoclonus was characterized as multifocal, involving all extremities in the three patients. EEG did not show epileptiform discharges with the myoclonus. Myoclonus resolved in the three individuals within 4–15 days after GBP was discontinued.
Conclusions: GBP increases the risk of myoclonus in ESRD. Myoclonus in these individuals was more disabling than that in patients with normal renal function, and discontinuation of GBP is required to restore normal function.
